ok i didnt do a search before i posted this so sorry if its a repeat lol

the return cable is toad! and after replacing it with an equally toad one i was wondering if its actually needed?
if i disconnect it from the carbs the spring on the carbs closes the throttle perfectly, soon as i reconnect it its a pig! its also easier to open without.

do i really need it? or can i survive with only the one cable?

Want to risk throttles being stuck open?

Just buy a new one

threw mine away years ago......................

thats what i thought cansa but tbh if it gets stuck open im replacing the carbs lol

and i prob wont throw it away just wont have it connected lol

logic would surjest that if it works best without then do without? but i dunno lol thought id ask if there was any harm in not having one lol

cheers guys

I've never really understood what the closing cable if for

If for some reason the carbs get jammed open how will having a closing cable help ? ?
if its jammed its jammed

Seems to me that it would make more sense to flick the kill switch with your thumb and stop the engine.................I've done it once...............still crashed LOL
Stary bit of foam stuck in one carb on my CBR

Bar that one time I've raced with just the one cable with no problems for years

cheers buddy

so its cool to take the whole cable out or just disconnect it? don't know if it wil mess the throttle housing up with just one cabel in there or summat lol

Have you tried oiling it? Is it routed correctly?

well inside the throttle housing its a lil dry so could oil that, but ive replaced the cable and its still shite lol
ima take it off next time i ave the tank off.
its up for sale atm for a large price so well see if it sells, if it dont then ill think about a full refurb

My open cable snapped the other day in lakeside :/ was not amused with a 20 mile ride home to go
Opened her up and pulled both open and close cable out, took the part on the open cable off and put it on the close and now running that
not had a problem, have questioned what the close cable was for, the only thing I can think of its use is to stop the throttle grip rolling around the other way
Thats about its use lol
